Complete Streets

Creating complete streets means transportation agencies must change their orientation toward building primarily for cars. Instituting complete streets within the TPO as part of the Transportation Plan helps to ensure that member agencies routinely design and operate the entire right-of-way to enable safe access for all users. Places with complete streets policies are making sure that their streets and roads work for drivers, transit operators and users, pedestrians, and bicyclists, as well as for older people, children, and people with disabilities. Complete streets are designed and operated to enable safe access for all users. Motorists, freight drivers, transit operators and riders, bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities must be able to safely move along and across a complete street.
